Lenovo G510 Linux - system freeze downloading complete

My Lenovo G510, with Qualcomm Atheros AR8172/8176/8178 Fast Ethernet Controller, almost constantly completely freezes when downloading via ethernet on Linux. In Windows 7, it works perfectly, so it's not a hardware problem. I tried various Linux distributions, 32 and 64-bit (Ubuntu 14.10, 14.04, Linux Mint Debian Edition, Fedora 20 etc.) -all behave in the same way. It always happens when you download large files (like a linux iso file) and sometimes even during the download of the smallest (such as trying to install applications of deposits online, or even try to update the repository of the respective linux distribution database). When freezing occurs, the system becomes completely insensitive, I can't yet move to another virtual terminal.

I would try a bios update, but there is a newer version of the bios for my model on the lenovo site, it says that it's only for Windows 8 and 8.1 - which I do not, and I fear that it could interfere with the functionality of my Windows 7 operating system.

How to solve this problem so that I am able to use linux, do you have advice?

Update the bios to Version 79CN50WW (V3.09) solved the problem. Now it works perfectly.

I don't know about you, but the update to the bios may need to be executed under Windows 8 or 8.1. I ran under 8.1.

  • Satellite U300 - how to upgrade the BIOS on a Linux system?

    Attempt to update the BIOS of my U300-153, which is described as an operating system independent on the download page, I find that the upgrade file is provided in
    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/BIOS-20090304140640.zip
    does not include the files to create a bootable CD, as described in the instructions to the
    IOS http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/FAQ.jsp?z=234&service=eu&from=faq_selection&CFID=B & FID = TRO0000000b07
    where Option 2 step 2 lists the files that are in the zip, and they are required to make a bootable cd. The files listed are not in the zip.

    It forces me to use Windows. My Windows is broken and I can't fix it, because Windows repairs destroy data (clearly indicated on the packaging of recovery CD) and installations of Linux. My Linux works very well, and I don't want the windows more.

    So how can I upgrade the BIOS? Either:
    1. use a true independent bundle of BONES (ie the promised approach of bootable CD). I can't find such a thing here.
    2 reinstall Windows, which trashes the laptop.

    Any suggestions?

    > How to upgrade the BIOS on a Linux system?
    Is not possible since the BIOS on Toshiba page is a victory-based BIOS version and if you want to update the BIOS then you need to install the Windows operating system and then you can run the exe file

  • ABC causes system freeze

    I would be very grateful if someone could please tell me how to troubleshoot the cause of a system freeze.

    After that a BSOD caused by the premature elimination of a DVD of my d: drive, a program that I use frequently, ABC, was originally a complete system to freeze any moment, I try to run... it is Exact Audio Copy, a program that allows you to burn a cd, content analysis of files for loss/lossless music.  The only way to address the gel is through reboot cold.

    Here are the steps that I took so far... and maybe this will give you an idea:

    1. I uninstalled, but when I tried to re-install it ALSO caused a freezing of the system.

    2. in Safe Mode, I was able to reinstall them and run the program without problem.

    3. after the installation in Mode safe, but chasing after systematic startup, the system froze.

    So, I assume that there is a driver conflict...

    EventViewer does not seem to grasp the issue... nothing showed up.

    Are there other ways to understand the question?

    I am running XP Pro SP3, all the installed updates, on a Dell Vostro 220 s computers.

    Thanks a lot if someone can help me with this.

    Pter

    Just note if EAC still causes crashes while all other programs/processes are not running. If this is the case, then it has a bug or there may be a problem with one of your drivers. If there is no blocking, systematically add pack programs/process until there is a blockage. Essentially, you need to use the process of elimination until you isoliez the villain.

    Start by adding half back and then see if there is a blockage or not. You'll understand!

  • After the memory upgrade in Satellite A100-1401E the system freezes

    The laptop was initially delivered with only 512 MB of RAM.

    I installed 1 GB of RAM Kingston (part No. KTT533D2 / 1 g) into the remaining free memory slot. However, whenever I turn on the computer, the system freezes within minutes and I have to re - start.

    Is it because there is an uneven amount of memory in the 2 slots? I have 512 MB in each slot or 1 GB in each slot, etc.?

    I would like your advice.

    Have you tried to change places and put 1 GB of RAM in slot A?

  • Portege M800-106 the system freezes when I connect a device via USB

    When I connect a device through a USB port, the system hangs. This happened with any device even something that has been used before. Example - if I turn on the printer /plug in my Blackberry to synchronize the .laptop just going so slow that I have to do a reboot with the devices still connected to get the system working again. Running Vista. Any help please?

    Hello

    You see yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager? Maybe a driver isn't installed properly in the system freezes.
    In addition, I would try to remove the USB ports in Device Manager. After this restart your laptop and USB ports will be recognized again.

    Have you tried a BIOS update? If this isn't the case, you should do it. Before you begin the update, close all running programs and make sure that you are logged on as administrator.

    Last but not least try to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba recovery disc. It only takes a few minutes and then you have settings to factory again! :)

  • Pavé tactile Lenovo G510 help please

    Hi all

    Recently got a new laptop - Lenovo G510, 4700 i7, 12 GB ram, 500 GB SSD, new installation of 8.1 and all updated with the latest Windows/lenovo drivers. (add more RAM and new SSD myself - but the problem I was always present on the previous hard disk of 1 TB).

    All right, fast and I am happy with the exception of one thing annoying reallly I spent hours trying to find a solution to 95% for = the touchpad!

    When I scroll down on the touchpad... it... the page / screen scrolls upward!
    I refer to the edge of the right side of the touchpad with a finger.

    On any laptop I've had there was a setting where I can check/uncheck an option of scrolling so I can put it as I want - but this Lenovo uses Synaptics Touchpad v7.5 drivers and I can't find such a setting on the finger of a scrolling tab.

    I uninstalled the drivers simply use the windows drivers, but it gives no option, no scrolling and a jerky cursor = no good.

    I tried the Synaptics W7 drivers and it's all as well as the current 8.1 drivers.

    Drivers Lenovo Web site page there are 3 riders: W7 and W8, W8.1 - I tried all.

    I'm lost! I can't find a way to do such a thing simple... I want to be able to do is scroll down like I did for years and see the page down scrolling in the same direction!

    I posted this on another forum too and not had a solution yet, sent either support from Lenovo and no response.

    I know it's only a trivial thing and I should and could get used to it eventually... but I don't want to - my OCD won't let me - I want to establish this exactly how I have implemented any other computer laptop I have ever used.

    Oh and yes I have google and google and google!

    I watched a lot of solutions for the other similar/same problem, but they all seem to point to momentum/Elantech drivers but this laptop G510 only uses the Synaptics.

    If I'm stuck with it? I would be very grateful if anyone can think of any hack / / workaround solution, thank you.

    Dan.

    Can try again you? (re-upload)

  • Can we install Momentics IDE on a Linux system without a head?

    I have access to a headless (no display) Linux system.

    I would like to install the 2.0 Momentics old or new IDE 2.1 on it and use its command line tools.

    I am mainly interested in getting the line tool of command currently running on this computer, to push my builds to my blackberry testers - deploy.

    Is this possible?

    I ran the "momentics - 2.1 - 201404211616.linux.x86_64.run" file, which has created a folder "bbndk".

    In the "bbndk" folder, I tried running "q", but I get the error message:

    QDE: Cannot open display:

    QDE: Cannot open display:

    QDE:

    An error has occurred. Check the log file

    Home/MyUserName/bbndk/configuration/1401121318696.log.

    This .log is not really tell me anything useful.

    I tried to adjust my X 11 DISPLAY dimmer environment to point to my Mac running the latest version of XQuartz server and it still failed to open the screen.  (Momentics is an X 11 application?  Just take a wild stab here...  Cannot open display sounds kind of X 11 - ish to me.)

    Even when I try to run "sdkinstall - list", he complains that qde cannot open the screen.

    Installation of the SDK BB10 and with the Momentics tools via the command line even possible in a situation like this?

    Thank you

    Ed

    The cli tools should work perfectly. Did you open your Mac Remote X apps to connect? Maybe use a ssh tunneling X may be an idea.

  • Install Windows alongside linux systems

    Hi I have a computer that has run with windows 7, but I bought a new 128 GB SSD (the original is dead) and I tried several Linux systems after I couldn't reinstall windows because I need to buy, linux has a very nice way to install more than one copy on the same computer, I tried a few of these systems , as a programmer, linux help me lot to learn one or two tips, now I intend to buy a copy of windows 8 but without deleting my other linux system I use for 2 years
    I have the following questions...

    -If I buy a copy of windows, can I reinstall in my computer several times? I want to say if I remove it, I can it reinstall several times

    -I don't have a lot of disk space... on windows 8 will work with only the 20 GB it asked in the minimum requirements or is the size of the windows installation, linux uses only 2 so 20 looks so much like, I only 40 GB of available

    -It will work on my computer? I have a processor clocked at 2.6 Ghz intel core i5, 6 GB ram and intel hd 3000 graphics

    A license, a computer, you can reinstall as many times as you like on the same computer. Of course, you can remove and relocate if you wish.

    -I don't have a lot of disk space... on windows 8 will work with only the 20 GB it asked in the minimum requirements or is the size of the windows installation, linux uses only 2 so 20 looks so much like, I only 40 GB of available

    Yes, you can, but it's the bare minimum.

    -It will work on my computer? I have a processor clocked at 2.6 Ghz intel core i5, 6 GB ram and intel hd 3000 graphics
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Yes, I suggest you more that meets the requirements, you create a larger partition, although, at least 60 to a 100 GBs. You must prepare for future needs such as applications, software, updates etc.
